Dungeon Meshi is a well liked manga, and an adaptation by Studio Trigger is now airing. If you haven’t picked this one up, consider joining us. Both for fun and as a way of contributing to activity on Lemmy.

Kabru's party is back! Again, they don't last long.

The gang finally reaches the fourth level of the dungeon. I've been looking forward to its watery environment, and boy does Trigger pull out all the stops on the animation.

Lots of encounters this episode, a kelpie, mermaids, merfolk, bladefish, and a kraken. What will they try eating?

Laio's party continues to bond with Senshi, especially Marcille. He gets his beard washed for the first time in probably decades.

Remember not to spoil anything if you’re a manga reader, but feel free to elaborate on tidbits of lore that may not be coming through in the adaptation.

The last guide chapter I can post right now. We'll have to wait until we know more and meet more of characters before I can post any more, but there is a lot of info about the cast in these chapters, that adds context to their behaviour.

I've only posted the first two pages of each chapter, as the following pages assume knowledge on a lot of later stuff, so I recommend coming back and reading that stuff once the anime is past the halfway point.

HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT!

I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THE PAINTING CHAPTER! THIS EPISODE IS FULL OF LORE, GUYS!

Let's hear your theories on what the past events in the paintings are about, and what significance the people in them had.

The gang has some trouble finding food, but things work out before long. Laios learns that despite being the party leader, he is the youngest. Marcille is a round 50, while Senshi is 112. That leaves Laios at 26, three years younger than Chilchuck.

I'll be posting these out order, as some character sheets contain spoilers, I'll only post them once we're past that point in the anime.

This adaptation is surpassing my every expectation. My favorite manga and favorite anime studio are a match made in heaven.

We finally meet one of the other parties central to the plot! They don't last long, but get used to seeing Kabru and his gang.

Laios' new pet sword, Kensuke, saves the day! We again run into some new monsters, and hence, some new dishes! This time the dungeon food might finally be too much for Marcille.

I'm not sure how many of you read these, but in the thread for episode one I mentioned in the comments that the souls of people who die in the dungeon, are trapped there, and that this is why revival magic is even possible. Outside the dungeon, death is final.

With that knowledge in mind, the ghosts, and why they try to possess bodies, are a much sadder reality. And it makes Falins reluctance to hurt them all the more sweet.
